3D text with texture

[RealFear]

Heres what im asking in very simple terms.

How do you add a picture to a piece of text, and make it 3D?

Give us an example of what you're talking about and someone will tell you how to create it.

Or, if you want to experiment... Here are some plugins to help you:

Trail

Bevel Selection

Well, heres exactly what im trying to do

im trying to make these letters look like they are wandering asteriods in space, and your looking at them from the side

i couldn't actually find a picture example of this

Your best bet is to hitch a ride on the next NASA space probe passing through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Bring a can of paint and a camera.

How do you think they filmed the opening scrolling text for Star Wars? That stuff was done in outer space, they spared no cost.

</just kidding>

Do you already have some asteroid pictures that

you want to use as the basis for the text?

I have written a tutorial that will answer your question. The tutorial is in a PDF file, so that mean you can download it, print it out, and go through it step by step.

Very close, indeed, Welshy. The difference is the use of alpha-mask so that the trail part doesn't "stretch" the texture like it did with your proof-of-concept.
